God is so good all the time!!!

Its hard to believe that JD and I have been married for 5 1/2 years and have been together almost 8 years. When I look back at what all has happened I can't imagine going through it all with any one else. I read a quote on someonelses blog that said "We may not be perfect but we are perfect for each other." That is us to the end. I just wanted to give you all a little back ground on our family.


JD and I were married on September 13, 2003. We had a great time. We knew we wanted kids but wanted to wait a little while. In early 2004 I went to a gynecologist appointment and was told at 21 years old that I had the hormone imbalance that leads to PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome) and that I would likely have to under go fertility treatments. Needless to say I was devastated but I prayed and put into God's hands. After a year we decided to try and become pregnant. After a year of trying we stopped for a while and shortly after we stopped some of our best friends found out they were pregnant. I was devastated again. The why me and why not me's started. Even though I was so excited for them I was so upset for JD and I. I went on and got my baby fix by working a daycare for 3 years. I learned allot about myself and was blessed my many families at the center. The moms all saw my struggle and longing for a child of own and they always offered encouraging words and books. You all don't know how much you and your children helped me through some of the roughest times in my young married life. Thanks.

So then we just decided that we didn't care what any doctor said and we gave to God again! In April 2008 I went in for my yearly exam and was told again that is was going to take fertility drugs to give the child I wanted so badly. It upset me but then I decided from that point on that I was going to lose weight and eat right and do this my self. I did great I have lost 40 lbs. to date. In October 2008 I received a phone call from the oldest of my younger brothers stating that they had little to no food in the house and the gas has been off for 30 days or more. So we took them all in. So I went from no kids to three kids over night. In January 2009 we (My husband, my sister, and I) were granted full guardianship of the two youngest. The oldest younger brother turned 18 in December but he still lives with us.

So a week or so ago I started getting extremely tired and my breast were tender and swollen both of which are very abnormal for me. So I let the thought creep in that there maybe a possibility that I was pregnant. I asked JD what he thought but he said he didn't want to say anything and get hopes up because of negatives we have had in the past (we are home pregnancy test poor people!) haha. So I told him thats ok but if these symptoms don't pass by Friday I am going to take a test. Well Thursday afternoon I had off to take the 18 year old to doctor appointments so I swung my Walmart and grabbed a two pack of digital test. Later on we were wasting time between appointments and went to Woodland Hills mall so I grabbed one and stuck it in my purse. I was thinking well I got a two pack it won't hurt to take one now and if its negative then I can take the other one in the morning. So I there I am in the Woodland Hills bathroom waiting for the results. I felt a little silly to the least. And the results...

That's right PREGNANT!! I started to hyperventilate a little and then hurried up grabbed the test washed my hands and went to show Uncle Ryan the results. He was excited. I stared to walk in circles trying to figure out how to tell my husband that he was going to be a daddy. Ryan asked if I was going to stop walking in circles anytime soon I told him "Shut up I'm pregnant Leave me alone!" lol I was a little overwhelmed at that moment. So I decided to buy a card that had something to do with a baby and write Congratulations Daddy! love always Brandi and Baby C. Then I go and find him on his route, he is a mail man, and give him the card. He doesn't get it so I show him the test. He is so excited that he doesn't know what to say! Later on that night after we have told just about everyone he asked me if I can take the other test that I bought. I am a little confused at first as if he doesn't believe that I am pregnant but I agree and take the test any way. So while its still processing I tell him to come into the bathroom and while we wait he explains that he has never seen one turn positive and that's why he wanted me to take the other test. When it came up pregnant he jump up hugged me and said yeah!! He was too cute for words!

So like my title says God is so good all the time! This blog is now a blog for my tiny baby growing in me as we speak! I go to the doctor on April 3rd to find out just how far along we are! Will give an update soon!

Love always,

Brandi
